You ever go to a flea market and you have no interest in buying anything? You see some little old lady wearing a sweater, even though it’s 95 degrees, selling a collection of hummels and they’re priced like they’re gold bullion. You pass. You walk further and see a man with mutton chops selling corn cob pipes, but you already have one. You’re only at the flea market because your lady friend dragged you there. You kinda just want to go home — but then! — then you see someone selling an original Derek and the Dominos vinyl. It’s a limited edition Layla record from the former republic of Yugoslavia. There’s scratches all over it and it barely plays, but it’s from 1970 and it says Layla in some weird language and it’s priced at $3. You buy it. That’s Chris Johnson, a scratchy Yugoslavian Layla record. The Diamondbacks aren’t buying, but the Astros are selling so aggressively that they’ll make a buyer out of everyone. So, you make the small sacrifice to carry something the rest of the day, even though you enjoyed being unencumbered, and now you got Chris Johnson. When Johnson gets back to Arizona, he’s going to hit .270 with light power just like he’s a broken record. Anyway, here’s what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:

Lucas Harrell – 5 2/3 IP, 2 ER, 8 baserunners, 5 Ks and the Win and somehow the Stream-o-Nator was right on telling you to do this stream. As you pass it in a bar, the Stream-o-Nator nods in your general direction, too involved with a group of females.

Brandon Allen – The Rays sold his rights to Japan. I believe CBS tried to do the same with Byron Allen.

Francisco Liriano – Liriano used to have a lot of stuff. He had stuff that blew away hitters. Then he had surgery and he lost some of his stuff. The second version of his stuff. Then he pitched for a few years and seemed to lose stuff each time he took the mound. His third, fourth and fifth versions of his stuff. Now he takes what little stuff he has left in an overnight bag to the White Sox. Sometimes you see hitters or pitchers moved to teams that kill them just so they don’t have to face them anymore. The White Sox actually are gonna lose two games with this trade just because they won’t be able to face Liriano anymore. He had a near-7 ERA against the White Sox just this year and 5.34 ERA in July against everyone. The Padres would’ve had a nice reclamation project with Liriano. The Marlins could’ve done something with him. The White Sox? You have exactly the same pitcher in an “extreme hitter’s park.”

Clayton Kershaw – 9 IP, 0 ER, 6 baserunners, 7 Ks as he recorded his second shutout of the year. You know how Jim Leyland’s cigarette-stained teeth make him look like one of those clown head’s at a carnival that has water sprayed into its mouth but instead of water it’s urine? Now the exact opposite of that image is Kershaw.

Logan Morrison – To the 15-day DL with knee inflammation and could be out the rest of the season. Backdate this news to March.

Jose Reyes – 2-for-5, 2 runs and a steal, and he homered yesterday as he now bats 3rd. Every player who puts together a crazy contract season and/or a player that sits out the last day of games so he can win the batting title should get sent to the Marlins and one of their patented sell-offs. It’s like Burgess Meredith breaking his glasses.

Justin Ruggiano – 2-for-4 with a steal, after hitting a homer on Saturday. He’s hitting .359 with 8 homers in 131 ABs. Meanwhile, his brother Pecorino went 0-for-3 getting his mom to cut him some slack already about finding a job.

Kris Medlen – Set to start on Tuesday unless the Braves trade for someone. It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of Medlen. A Medfan, if you will. Though, you probably shouldn’t. I will be peddlin’ Medlen! Yeah, not much better. He will only throw about 70 pitches on Tuesday, so don’t go too crazy for him in his first start.

Jhonny Peralta – 2-for-4, 4 RBIs and 2 homers. Grumblings of “about fhucking time” for those that have had him since draft day.

Doug Fister – 8 IP, 1 ER, 9 baserunners, 9 Ks as Fister brought the punch outs against the Jays. He’s now lowered his ERA almost one full run since the beginning of July.

Colby Rasmus – Hit a homer on Saturday. He was hot for about two months then went ice cold. And I say what’s cooler than bein’ cool? Ice cold! Rasmus may be heating up again. Hey ya!

Brian Roberts – Having season-ending hip surgery. Not sure how long he’ll be out, but Gertude Brodsky had a similar surgery and was out of the World Shuffleboard Circuit for 18 months.

Wei-Yin Chen – 5 2/3 IP, 0 ER, 7 baserunners, 12 Ks. Now that’s some Choice Chen. Move over Blake DeWitt, there’s a new man in town with a mother named Joyce.

Omar Quintanilla – 3-for-4, 2 runs and a homer. Omar’s coming yo! I talked to Rudy yesterday on the phone and he was pumped about our AL-Only pick up Omar Quintanilla. Ah, the joys of AL-Only. In the last week, Quintanilla is hitting near .370, and doesn’t have much speed or power. In the big picture, he’s a background extra that keeps smiling into the camera and needs to be replaced.

Mat Latos – 8 IP, 2 ER, 7 baserunners, 8 Ks in Coors. I’ll say it for you…Sonavabench! And if you started him here, well, you could make your testicles into one of those coconut monkey banks and start saving for your kid’s college tuition.

Drew Stubbs – 1-for-3, 2 runs, 3 RBIs and a slam (12) and legs (21). This was also his 2nd game in a row with a homer. That’s the Stubb-bubb.

Yonder Alonso – 1-for-4, 2 RBIs and his 5th homer. He goes to Cincy for a 4 game set, starting today. Yoda’s got 10 words for you. Payback for trading him to the Padres, he will get.

Ben Revere – 2-for-4 with two steals. He now has 24 steals and a .315 average. As Revere screamed, the SAGNOF is coming! The SAGNOF is coming! Then, as our country’s history tells us, Revere stopped in a bakery in Boston, took Margaret Peabody into a churner and originated the phrase, “Butter face.”

Justin Morneau – 3-for-4 with his 2nd homer in the last three games. Full disclosure: The Twins asked me to point out Morneau’s last three day exploits in case any playoff-bound teams were reading.

Josh Rutledge – 2-for-4, 2 RBIs and his 2nd homer, now hitting .379. The Rockies are going to be in Coors until next week. Own Rutledge now!

James McDonald – 5 IP, 5 ER vs. the Lastros. Has now given up 20 earned runs in his last 20 2/3 innings. E, I, E, I, E, I, Oh, crap. McDonald sends his condolences to good. That’s not a regression… THIS IS A REGRESSION. I wouldn’t drop McDonald in all leagues, but he can’t be started anywhere at this point. You need to see at least a quality start first. You can try to sell him, but it’s hard to sell a guy when the player is obviously, dramatically, adverbially regressing.

Kevin Correia – Asked the Pirates to trade him. This is huge news if said aloud and out of context. Seriously, turn to the guy in the cubicle next to you and tell them, “Corriea lifted the trade embargo.”

Starling Marte – 2-for-5 with a steal. The Pirates have made good on their promise to start him every day, and have also hit him lead off. He’s also hitting .222 and has a caught stealing, but that’s no surprise. As soon as he gets on base, they should play Been Caught Stealing.

Shane Victorino – 3-for-4 and a slam (9) and legs (24). In 2008, I could’ve asked you, “In four years, who will be the most valuable Phillie: Howard, Rollins, Utley or Victorino?” You would’ve got it wrong. If I would’ve asked you before the 2012 season which Phillie hitter from those 4 would be the most valuable, you would’ve got it wrong too. Don’t sweat it, I would’ve too.

Neftali Feliz – Scratched from his rehab start with discomfort in his elbow. My best guess is he’ll be out for another month. My moderately good guess is he’s done for the season. My worst guess is he’ll retire from baseball, open up a sunglass kiosk in my bathroom and try to sell back to me my own sunglasses.

John Axford – 1 2/3 IP, 3 ER and Dor-K went 1/3 IP with 3 ER. Someone should check the Brewers bullpen for Montezuma’s Revenge because they are hemorrhaging runs.

Corey Hart – 4-for-5, 3 runs and a slam (19) and legs (4). It would be kinda cool if Corey Hart bought sunglasses from my bathroom.

Carlos Gomez – 2-for-5, 2 runs, 2 RBIs and another homer. Okay, if you pick him up, I promise to tell you when to drop him.

Rickie Weeks – 1-for-4 with his 11th homer. Now hitting around .400 in the last week and hitting near .300 for the month of July. If someone dropped him because he was playing about as well as the Kristin Cavallari years of The Hills, I’d give him a shot. He’s not quite Bobby Bonds and Jeff Kent’s adopted son that they raised in secret because the public wasn’t as tolerant at the time, but Weeks is also not a .150 hitter.

Steve Lombardozzi – 3-for-5 and a homer and has hit in 7 of last ten games while taking over for the injured Desmond. (Hitting in 7 of ten games isn’t much of a compliment, but Lombardozzi is worth a shot in deep leagues.)

Paul Maholm – 6 2/3 IP, 1 ER, 8 baserunners, 5 Ks. No idea who he is. Never heard of him before. Pretty sure I haven’t mentioned him after each of his last four starts. I mean, technically it would be impossible since I’ve never heard of him.

Mike Trout – Scratched before yesterday’s game. I was in LA and he was Anaheim, so who the hell was scratching him?! *reading synonyms for scratching* Oh. Word out of Bobby Grichville is Trout will be fine.

Zack Greinke – 7 IP, 2 ER, 8 baserunners, 8 Ks as he started his first game for the Angels. Arte Moreno is definitely sparing no expense, but Rita’s gonna be pissed when she finds out he spent all her West Side money. At this point, the Angels could take on the 1992 Dream Team and win. But they didn’t play baseball, and it’s 20 years later, so they might not be in the best shape. Speaking of the Olympics, I’ve figured out a way to make them better, or at least more relatable. You know how you’re sitting there watching eight swimmers do the 400 meter relay in a minute thirty? (Bear with me, I know no one is actually watching it or if a minute thirty is how fast 400 meters takes.) Well, while you watch it, it seems impressive, but you can’t fully appreciate it because everyone in the pool is more or less the same level swimmer, give or take a half second. Enter my idea: Have a normal person in the pool with them! In fact, put a normal person in every event. You didn’t think they were that fast in the 100 meter dash? Wait, until you drop a slightly out-of-shape guy in the mix. Now it’s clear how fast they are actually going. You’re welcome, Olympics, I fixed you.

Your 4 year old questions made me think……… Pence is their best hitter and yet they want to trade him like the Astros so geniously did. Do I sense this guy has a case of the Rasmus’s where you have five tools with tons of upside and you keep getting shown the door? but the Phillies want to hold onto Ty Wiggington, that makes a lot of sense. Also how the hell did Amaro make those trades, the guy must have a cache of incrimnating evidense on half the GM’s in baseball. He must really know what he’s doing when he has 65 million committed to three pitchers next year…you can tell I hate the Phillies.

One of the worst defensive outfielders I have ever seen in MLB.
Decent enough arm, always makes bad decisions on when to break for the ball. Goes to the ground when he shouldn’t, stays up on balls when he should go to the ground and block. I have seen enough of him in the past year to say, gimme back Skeets (Lonnie) Smith.

Swings out of the strike zone all the time. Pitchers now throw high on pupose knowing he will swing. Been a total disappointment.

He may produce decent enough Fantasy numbers, but he isn’t a “winning type” of ballplayer IMO. Just not solid enough in the fundamentals of the game to be a building block of a team. His stat line is like the siren of the sea, you get lured in, then crash on the rocks.

@Cahhhhh-stanza, I didn’t think he is that bad of an outfielder, but his plate approach reminds me of a Latin player at times. Its just with the shift to pitching dominance that I figure any bat that can hit .300 is worth having on your team.

@Jack Full of Hate, I can’t believe with the approach he has the plate that he ever hit .300. His rookie season he did (2007), then 2008-2010 his highest average was .282, then 2011 between Houston and Philly, he did it again. So only twice in 6 seasons. Always in double digits in outfield assists, I think that helps to cover some of his defensive warts. This year his fielding % is .971, lowest of any year with over 100 starts. And they didn’t credit him with errors on balls he didn’t get to that he should have! It may not be fair to compare him the the previous Phillies RF, Jason Werth, who was a very good defensive RF. He reminds me more of the guy in RF before Werth, Bobby Abreu. Again, his outfield assists covered up his defensive liabilities. Bobby stopped trying once he hit the warning track!

Pence has been a bust to say the least. And I favored the trade when it happened. With the core of the lineup out for almost 3 months, he looked like a guy who was trying way too hard. No one would have guessed the Chooch would be the 2012 MVP, it was all setup for Pence to be the MVP. Instead, he has become trade bait. Watch him play for more then a game and you will see it for yourself. Fantasy glasses is the only way to admire his career.

@Cahhhhh-stanza, I never was one to rely on outfield assists. But its hard to find a good hitter/fielder combo these days. Ive watched him probably a half dozen times this year and compared to watching Abreau and Rivera this year for the Dodgers, anything looks good. I don’t think I have been looking through fantasy goggles, more like AARP goggles when it comes to those two.

@Simple Jack, Abreu’s best days as an outfielder were done in 2006 when the Phils shipped him to the Yanks. There are quite a few baseball people who think that the clubhouse attitude also turned around to a winning attitude the day he was traded. The Phils then went on to win 5 division crowns. Abreu and Lieberthal were just not good clubhouse guys, very interested in their own numbers rather then the team numbers.

Rivera is another guy who has career is close to done. Maybe the Phils can send back that Rule 5 player they got from the Dodgers, Shane Victorino, or as I like to refer to him, the “stupidest player in MLB”. Shane has incredible amount of God-given talent, but doesn’t have a lick of baseball sense. I think the Phils are done with his nonsense as well. He will be somewhere else to start the 2013 season, unless they can get him to return as a FA for half of his salary in 2012. Can’t see that happening, Pride will always get in the way. The Phillies will look to make a major retooling in the off-season; 2 OF spots, 3rd base, bullpen. They are better then they are playing right now, but the hole they dug from April to July is just too damn deep, and the pressure is getting to everyone.

@Cahhhhh-stanza, wow, and I thought Jimmy Rollins was the dumbest player in baseball. He looks so lost in the eyes and when he talks I just want to mute it. Nice heads up on Victorino, if he comes here I will be watching. I wonder if you have to fail a wonderlick test to be a position player in Philly. It must be a relatable thing with the local fan base. hehe

@Simple Jack, Not sure about the Wonderlick, but Rollins does have an outstanding baseball savvy to him. Along with Utley, Polanco, Ruiz, they have some really smart baseball players on the current roster. And the current crop of major leaguers do love to play in front of 45000 fans a night. A sellout for almost 2 years! One of the top 5 stadiums in baseball.

I remember John Smoltz saying you would have to be crazy to want to go pitch half of your games in that Bandbox they call Citizens Bank Park. Well John, Halladay, and Lee both opted to pitch there and have had success. Maybe John lacked confidence in his ability. Sometimes, players shrivel up when they get in front of the Big Lights. Atlanta has never been a great sports city. Not much pressure to be great when the top sports in your town are college sports.

As for the local fanbase (myself included), can’t imagine the Dodger fanbase is really proud about how they treated that San Fran fan on opening day. I know , I know, a couple of bad fans are representative of the whole fanbase. But that broad brush you use does work both ways….

@Cahhhhh-stanza, My fellow Dodger fans are a generl embarassment for both their behavior and their very very low baseball IQ. I’m a fan of the game first, team 2nd. I know alot of Philly and Pennsylvania transplants and we have very differing ideas on what it means to be a fan.

If Brian Stow wouldn’t of been white we never would have heard too much about that. They had a Latino on Latino stabbing that led to death at Angel game a couple years back and they made no big deal about it.

I’m sorry one of your old prospect crushes has to learn Japanese. Don’t worry Brandon, Kila Kahlua and Gaby Sanchez will join you soon. Bret Wallace is not far off either, maybe the Astros will trade for a bag of fish.

You should have a list of players on the verge of Japanese stardom. Think some power hitting 1st base types that kill AAA, which is similar to Japan on average, that just can’t put it together in the big leagues. You know the type they “have nothing left to prove” in the minors and do nothing but hit .200 with the occasional HR when they come to the show. You can make it a pool, like a death pool…

@Grey, In weightlifting, they should have to lift people as well as iron. For example, I was watching some this morning (it’s awesome BTW). There are these guys who are, like, 130 pounds lifting 3 times their own bodyweight (which is pretty incredible).

Currently top but more due to my hitting than pitching. Looking for a deal to consolidate my staff and win the league this year. Would be trading N Castellanos (minors team) for Mat(t) Latos. Not worried about losing a prospect but is Latos enough or should I be aiming higher?

would you trade hamilton and chris perez for wright, hanley and cespedis? or maybe switch in geancarlo if you think he will actually come back on the Aug 10th? or any combo of those four? 10×10 leauge i need tripples bad.

So something awesome went down in my league last week. I traded Rizzo for Bone Face, and then the player I made the deal with had DL problems and had to drop Rizzo. I had a high waiver claim, scooped him back up on Friday, and the dude is going off, BYAHH!

So now I got Pujols, Butler, and Rizzo with only one 1B and one UTIL. Trying to trade Butler and Zobrist for Cano. Idk if he’ll go for it, but would be pretty sweet after all that went down.

@BoneFace n Harmony, Not a chance that Cano deal gets accepted, but that Rizzo thing was pretty cool. Intrigues me because I have been doing that kind of thing for a few years now in shallower leagues with 2 or 3 DL spots, and I was wondering if other people put that much thought and time into benches as I do. If a guy is using all of his DL’s and some of the guys are close to returning, I usually look to deal a fringe rosterable player on my team (who I obviuosly have rostered for a reason) for a fringe rosterable player with upside on the other guy’s team, and see if the guy that he drops when the DL players come off is the guy I traded away but still has value to me. It works out more often than I thought, and just this season I have traded away Jon Niese and Kyle Lohse only to scoop them back up a week later. Ended up reeling in Ryan Cook and Ernesto Frieri in exchange for nothing.

Of course, I have no one to blame but myself for not being the first to scoop up those 2 guys in the first place when they were universally unowned, but the league has very competitive save vultures. I digress.

@Hot Sauce, I think it’s pretty lame that you play with such a short sighted group that could not know their guys are coming off the DL, esepecially for fringe starters in a shallow league. maybe you should try playing against some tougher competition one of these days

@Jack Full of Hate, This happening on only two occasions and we are almost in the fifth month of the season, you make it sound like it’s a regularity. I made sure to make this sound like it doesn’t happen all that often but fun when it does. You certainly are full of hate there.

Traded Ryan Howard and Aniballz for Vogelsong on Friday night, how much did I kill it?

I now have an open roster spot. Pick up Chris Johnson to platoon with Alvarez at 3b? I need OPS, R, and SB more than anything. There are OF like Snider, Ross, Ruggiano, Gomez, or Rajai that I could mix in to my current starting 5 of Braun, McCutchen, Bruce, Cain, and Boesch

Chris Davis (looks like he may be starting another run) and Todd Frazier are also possible platoon partners with Alvarez

Lastly, “Missed it by…that much” on the Dream Team. 1988 is when John Thompson II took a bunch of crap to Seoul and lost to the Soviet Union in the semis but then beat Australia for the Bronze. Largely because of that loss, the Dream Team was created in 1992 for the Barcelona games (which I attended. Bee Tee Dubya, Spain was awesome…lots of killer ‘staches).

Is it time to drop Boesch yet, or will doing that induce a 10-day hot streak/homer binge? I like to tell myself he’s got more potential/upside/fairydust than your average hot schmotato, but it’s looking more and more like that’s all he is at best. And as hot schmotatoes go, Ruggiano is out there and available. Make the switch, or hold the line?

I am in a 20 team h2h dynasty league. I Am currently the 7th seed right now. I was offered sandoval pence bourn billingsley for longoria profar sano and wheeler. I think this is good value in return but feel I should make a counter. Some other players on his team to note are braun, billy butler, mat moore, mcann and jordan zimmerman. What do y think I should do?

12 team league, I’m down to 4 starting pitchers with McDonald being one of them. I have 5 current closers, with Holland waiting in the wings, but Parnell maybe losing his spot. Do I trade Jansen for Tim Hudson?

Actually, maybe this is a better question: is Fowler a Coors-only guy? And are there any particular splits I should know about for BB? My league has a daily lineup so I can pay attention if I know what to look for…

I picked him up as a Casilla handcuff and enjoyed a vulture win with some ok ratio help, but that also came with the HR he gave up to Hanley the other night (his 4th HR allowed in two years, zoinks!). Am I safe in cutting him for a starter (Bailey, Maholm [who?], Detwiler available, to name a few), or perhaps an extra bat for today’s short schedule?

Brewers just fired their bullpen coach. I promise I’m not a sociopath that follows every strange move Doug Melvin makes (hell, I live on the west coast and haven’t had a Schlitz in 8 years), but his recent quotes are like a car wreck I just can’t peel my eyes away from. Today:

“It is important that we make every effort to try to improve our bullpen performance,” Brewers general manager Doug Melvin said in a statement. “While Stan is not solely responsible, I felt that this change was the first step and was necessary.”

That’s actually the second step. The first step should be dressing dor-K and Axford in matching gorilla suits and sending them to Tanzania. Kameron Loe can fly the plane.

@Grey, You’re right. The second step should be a team press release: “Brewers GM Doug Melvin announced this morning that he has fired team GM Doug Melvin. When reached for comment, former GM Doug Melvin said, “d’oh!””

Do you see Cliff Lee returning to form (at all) and contributing down the stretch in a H2H format? Or should I use him as trade bait (in our league, he does have value to other teams as a potential keeper) to acquire a better SP?

Revere and Shark it is, thanks! Did a little deadline trade that’s more like a drop/add … shed Lind (knew he was DL bound), Anibal and Duda for Mourneau (Votto sub), H Bailey and Minor. Minor seems to have figured it out as has Mourneau. H Bailey will be a hope and pray type thing this week. Matchups are too good, tho they are at home where he has had trouble ….

I’m still fighting the urge to drop McDonald. With my offense anchored with gonzo and Jupton, I have been playing from behind all year and have no patience for dead weight. In the last 30 days he has given up 23 earned runs in 34 innings with 36 hits and 24 walks….Frustipating!

G’day! I’ve displayed a yogi’s patience and understanding with Howie K, but there are limits and I’ve reached it. Do you suggest trading Matt Harvey straight up for Uggla, in the hopes of a reprise of last year’s second half? Maybe simply dropping Kendrick for Seager? Maybe both?
Much obliged…

Would you deal Jennings for Stubbs in a keeper (where you most likely won’t keep Jennings) but also have Phillips and Bruce? It’s an H2H league. Jennings is really bringing me down. Especially since I dealt Kemp for him and Strasburg when Kemp was on the DL.

@Grey, I kind of do, but at the same time when he’s not producing and I already feel like a complete dumbass for dealing Kemp for him and Strasburg, I kind of have this reactionary thing to get rid of him.

Are there other closers besides Broxton being rumored to go somewhere in a trade? I guess I’ve heard League’s name, too – though who knows if he would close (or if Broxton would). Is Holland the best name to keep an eye on for somebody who might start seeing saves this week? Any others to have in mind?

S.O.N. has another mancrush.. this time its blake beaven VS toronto. Harrell was ballsy, beaven would just be stupid, i think. Not really much out there this week in the stream department. How do you feel about [email protected]? lookin a little tasty, eh?

Greyman! the new Christopher Nolan flick about a clan of big leaguers on a mission to sabotage fantasy baseball teams across the country. But not if Greyman has something to say about it! Starring Eric Hosmer, Ryan Zimmerman, Grey Albright, and Rudy Gamble (as Robin).

But seriously… what are your thoughts on starting SPs at the beginning of the week in H2H?

For example, I saw that you recommended sitting Scherzer @Bos today in a Roto league. Should he also be benched in a 10-team H2H? Or is his K potential worth the risk?

I got bono about to be 2nd base eligile and I have Howie Kendrick pissing me off weekly. Would you let Howie go to be someone else mediocre 2nd baseman? The guy is seriously turned into James Loney at 2nd.

Grey do you think Rizzo can become a 30 HR guy next year or should I take another owner’s offer of Bruce for my Morse and Rizzo combo that is on fire right now? Yeah I’m taking Bruce before I talk myself out of it.

My bad thought I mentioned it was a 5×5 H2H keeper league with 10 keepers. I value Rizzo less since 1B is deeper in a shallow league (have Goldschmidt and Ike is available in FA) although my OF does already have CarGo, Cruz, Willingham and Reddick.

@Herschel, If I’m reading between the lines correctly here, this is from Rudy over at the other post…

Converted relievers (like Medlen) and pitchers with minimal IP (Germano) are more volatile. I like Medlen but his score is overrated because his FIP was from relief which usually leads to a FIP a run lower than as a starter.

If Santiago Casilla blows this I’m quitting fantasy baseball. Bumgarner in line for the win and its all smooth sailing then Romo comes in a give up 4 and blows his win and destorys my ratios for the night, but wait, not all is lost because Parnell might be able to at least salvage a save out of it for me, but wait there he blows it, and now Casilla….
